Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 275 Hitting someone
Yan Ci Wan asked about the specific location where the polo match was held, which was in Jinggongfang in Wannian County. To get there from the Xiao Mansion, one had to pass through the East Market. The place where Fu Hui had an accident in the dream last night should be the East Market.

She was extremely anxious and wanted to go out immediately to find Li Chengge and Du Lingzhou.

Xiao Zhong quickly called her: "Madam Ning, where are you going?"

"Jinggongfang, looking for Du Erlang and Li Sanlang!"

When the last word fell, Yan Ciwan had already run far away.

She ran to the stable in the backyard, picked out a chestnut horse at random, and led it out of the Xiao Mansion through the back door.

Inside Changhong Residence, Xiao Wang looked at the empty bedroom, frowning slowly. He asked, "Where is Ah Ci?"

Sang Luo lowered his head and answered truthfully: "Madam Ning went out to look for Li Sanlang and Du Erlang at dawn. She said she had something very important to discuss with them."

Xiao Wang walked out of the gate of Changhongju and headed towards the residence of Li Chengge and Du Lingzhou, and met Xiao Zhong on the way.

As soon as Xiao Zhong saw Xiao Wang, he immediately started talking about his recent meeting with Ning Ci.

"I asked her what happened, but she didn't tell me and ran out in a hurry. She is a weak woman and she is unfamiliar with the city of Chang'an. I was really worried that she might be in danger, so I was just about to come to you to talk about this matter."

Xiao Wang knew that Yan Ciwan was very skilled in martial arts and almost no one could be her match in a one-on-one fight, so Xiao Wang was not worried that she would encounter any danger. He was more concerned about the reason why Yan Ciwan was eager to meet Li Chengge and Du Lingzhou.

He said to Xiao Zhong, "I'm going out to look for Ning Ci now. Please tell my grandfather and father for me so that they don't worry."

"Shall I arrange for a carriage?"

"No, I can just ride a horse."

After Xiao Wang finished speaking, he left in big strides. Uncle Jiu was worried about letting Xiao Wang go out alone, so he followed Xiao Wang silently.

The master and servant went to the stable to get the horses, and then rode straight to Jinggongfang.

After dawn, drums sounded in the city, and the doors between the blocks opened, allowing people to move freely between the blocks.

Yan Ciwan really wanted to find Li Chengge and Du Lingzhou as soon as possible, so she rode her horse faster and faster. When she passed Chongrenfang, she was stopped by the Jinwu Guards who were patrolling the city.

There were several princesses living in Chongrenfang, and riding horses at high speed was prohibited there. Yan Ciwan violated the ban, and the Jinwu Guards arrested her without saying a word.

Yan Ciwan was of course unwilling to do so. She said that she had something urgent to discuss with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin, and hoped that the other party would make an exception for the sake of the Prince of Jin's face.

But the Jinwu Guards didn't believe what she said at all. They thought it was an excuse she made up to get away with it.

When the two sides were in a stalemate, Xiao Wang and Uncle Jiu caught up on horseback.

When the two men saw Yan Ciwan surrounded by the Jinwu Guards, they immediately stepped forward to rescue him.

When Yan Ciwan saw the two of them coming, he felt like he had seen a savior and immediately said, "Xiao Liu, please help me tell them that I really know the King of Jin!"

Xiao Wang was stunned and very surprised. He had never revealed Li Chengge's identity. How did Yan Ciwan know that Li Chengge was the King of Jin?

But now that there were outsiders present, he couldn't express his doubts.

He first showed his pass to prove his identity to the Jinwu Guards, and then said, "Prince Jin did stay at our house last night, but he suddenly left this morning. We were worried about his safety, so we rushed to find him. I hope you can forgive me."

The Jinwu Guards knew the relationship between Prince Jin and the Xiao family, so they naturally believed what Xiao Wang said.

"Since this concerns the safety of King Jin, let's just leave it at that today. Don't do it again in the future." "Okay, thank you."

After dealing with the Jinwu Guards, Xiao Wang turned to look for Yan Ciwan, intending to ask her why she was in such a hurry to find Li Chengge and Du Lingzhou? But he saw that Yan Ciwan had already ridden away on horseback.

He immediately rode his horse to catch up, and Uncle Jiu followed closely behind on horseback.

Passing through Chongrenfang is the famous Pingkangfang. Every year, almost all the successful candidates in the imperial examinations, replacement officials waiting to be selected by the court, and officials who come to Chang'an from all over the country to do business live here. There is also the largest brothel in Chang'an city. Every night, many famous and elegant people gather here to drink and have fun.

It was early in the morning and all the hotels were still closed, the streets were deserted.

Ta-da-da, the sound of hurried horse hooves came from afar. Passersby looked in the direction of the sound and saw a beautiful girl in Qiuxiang-colored Hu clothing riding a horse towards them.

She was driving so fast that pedestrians were afraid of being hit and moved to the side of the road.

Yan Ciwan sped all the way, successfully passed Pingkangfang, and then entered the East Market.

The Municipal Office has stipulated that the market can only be opened at noon. Now there is still some time before the market opens. Most of the shops in the East Market are closed. There are a few pedestrians scattered on the street. Occasionally, a cargo carriage passes by, and its wheels roll over the ground, leaving traces of ruts of varying depths in the mud.

Yan Ci Wan slowed down and kept observing the surroundings to see if she could find the section of road where Fu Hui was knocked down in her dream. She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that the tragedy had not happened yet, hoping that she could still prevent the scene in her dream from happening.

Xiao Wang's voice came from behind.

"Aci!"

Yan Ciwan looked back and saw Xiao Wang and Uncle Jiu riding their horses towards her. Just as she was about to rein in her horse and wait for them, she suddenly saw their expressions change drastically.

Xiao Wang shouted at her: "Stop!"

Yan Ciwan was startled and subconsciously pulled the reins to force the horse to stop.

With a dull thud, something hit the chestnut horse she was riding.

She immediately turned around and saw a middle-aged man in a green lapel Hu suit staggering and falling backwards, with the back of his head hitting the stairs on the side of the road.

When the passers-by around saw this scene, they stopped to watch.

Yan Ci Wan felt very uneasy and thought, could this be such a coincidence?

She immediately jumped off the horse and went forward to check the man on the ground. When she saw his facial features clearly, the last bit of hope in her heart completely disappeared. The reality was really such a coincidence, this man was Fu Hui!

He lay on his back with his eyes wide open, pupils constricted, and an extremely terrified expression. Slivers of blood slowly seeped out of his eyes, ears, mouth and nose.

Yan Ciwan reached out to feel his breath, but could hardly sense any breath.

At this time, Xiao Wang and Uncle Jiu had already arrived.

Xiao Wang knew Fu Hui, but he didn't expect Fu Hui to appear here. After a moment of shock, he immediately gave Fu Hui first aid, but it was useless, and Fu Hui eventually died.

The shopkeeper and waiters in the street inn all ran out. When they saw Fu Hui lying on the ground, they were frightened and screamed, attracting all the neighbors to come out to watch the fun. Passers-by also came over. They surrounded Yan Ciwan and Fu Hui and started talking about them.

"I just saw it. It was this girl who bumped into that man on horseback."

"This young man is bleeding from all seven orifices. He is definitely beyond help. It's such a pity that he has suffered such a disaster at such a young age!"

"Call the police immediately, don't let that girl get away!"
